| Abstract |
In this study, a single specimen of Pacific black scabbardfish Aphanopus arigato Parin, 1994 was collected at a depth of ~500 m near Dongsha Island in southwestern Taiwan (18°49′ to 20°45′N and 112°46′ to 116°15′E), on 14 March 2023. This is the southernmost record of A. arigato, with a significantly wide range extension from northern Japan, and southern Kuril Islands to the South China Sea. We also provide comparisons of the morphological measurements, first description of sagittae otoliths, and a partial sequence of the cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene for the specimen studied in this study. |
